Fingernails on a blackboard. That sound foam makes when it's just creaking and on the edge of snapping. Gum smackers. And anytime someone says "Let's think outside of the box." These are all things that make my ears want to bleed. Why people in business continue to use this idiotic expression eludes me. Maybe it's…
There's really no thematic rhyme or reason for the five songs that begin with “C” for today. Also, that title makes absolutely no sense at all! Also, a quick note: I generally write these stream of consciousness style with minimal editing. Sooooo, if it looks disorganized, there ya go. All of these posts generally are. Sometimes…
Didn't feel great today, so a quick “B” post for the April AtoZchallenge. I have no idea why my Mom had a Marty Robbins album. But she did and three songs from it still stand as among my favorites – two of them happen to start with the letter B. Big Iron “To the town…
A Boy Named Sue is one of the first songs I can remember. It launched a life-long love of Johnny Cash music. And that memory is wrapped up with my Mom, 8-tracks, and a green car. Now, my Mama is not a huge music person. This was great when growing up because we could put…
I like words. A lot. Probably more than the next guy. But I like my words to add clarity, not confusion. That's one of the reasons why I HATE buzzwords. I have to be careful here because not all buzzwords are bullshit. New stuff happens all the time. Sometimes we need a word or phrase…
I do not like Green Eggs and Ham I do not like them Sam I am. Those lines from Dr. Seuss were the first things I thought of when I saw the prompt for today's Stream of Consciousness Saturday post from Linda Hill: Ham. I also started humming, “ham, wonderful ham ham ham ham.” As…
Typos (and grammar concerns) terrify folks into paralysis when it comes to writing. What if I make a mistake? Use the wrong word? I don't know where the commas go. Semi-colons?!?!? OMFG, kill me. This fear keeps many folks who would otherwise be fantastic contributors to blogs, social media sites, and elsewhere from sharing insights…
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the "wood/would" prompt for today's Stream of Consciousness Saturday from Linda Hill. I've always wondered WTH that tongue twister means -- what is "chuck wood." When I was a kid, I…
Ha. That’s the prompt for this week’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday from Linda G. Hill. At first, I sat here with my consciousness decidedly not streaming. Possibly that’s because I switched over from doing some work in an attempt to begin to catch up after being sick for the better part of 7 days. The…
This has been annoying. You Can Go With This, Or You Can Go With That Ever since I read the prompt for today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday yesterday (“this or that”), I’ve had “You can go with this, or you can go with that,” sometimes accompanied by dance scenes, as an earworm. It’s…
